Archbishop of Canterbury condemns Nigerian archbishop's gay 'virus' comments

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

The archbishop of Canterbury has issued a rare public condemnation of a fellow Anglican primate who described homosexuality as a "deadly virus" which should be "radically expunged and excised".

Justin Welby, who is the leader of the global Anglican church, said the comments made by Henry Ndukuba, the archbishop of Nigeria, were unacceptable and dehumanizing.

In response to a statement on the pastoral care of gay people issued by the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) in January, Ndukuba said: "The deadly 'virus' of homosexuality has infiltrated ACNA. This is likened to a yeast that should be urgently and radically expunged and excised lest it affects the whole dough".

Ndukuba's comments were prompted by a pastoral message issued by the ACNA on sexuality and identity, which in turn gave rise to a letter by a group of lay and ordained Anglicans saying the church had held "same-sex attracted people to a higher standard than straight people".

Any condemnation of the Nigerian archbishop is racist. Black opinions matter!
